Biden: 'Republicans Don't Have a Clue About the Power of Women,' But 'They're About to Find Out'

Mediaite

President Joe Biden gave a rousing speech at a reception of the Democratic National Committee on Thursday night, where he warned Republicans about their “extreme” positions against abortion.

His remarks came hours after the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that voters will decide whether to enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution.

Republicans in the state wanted a 1931 law banning abortion to go into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the constitutional right to abortion. That decision triggered the enactment of several anti-abortion laws in various states that had been prevented from doing so thanks to the court’s decision in Roe v. Wade in 1973.

Ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization earlier this year, the court stated there is no constitutional right to abortion, thus leaving abortion laws to individual states.

and let's hope he is spot on. I mean, he is spot on, but the voters need to sign on and get out the vote.

How hard could it be they took away abortion rights. They took away abortion rights and we all said it would never happen.

They will wait until after November to have the SC throw out Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness program. Same about birth control and same sex marriage.
